Beautiful Monday 4/27/20

I arranged with Peggy to drop off some oatmeal cookies and pick up two masks to take to Myrna.  I did that and then met up with Pam at Day Road Park where we had a nice walk. Some of the trees have decorations on them.




Pam told me about a new park and trail that she noticed and I asked her to lead me to it.  Turns out it is the LYTLE NATURE PRESERVE.    I stopped at Crosby's and got  two slices of pizza and a 20 ounce pop for six dollars and took it home and had it for lunch.  I was fortunate to arrive at the store a few seconds before they took the fresh hot pizza out of the oven!  

Mary Anne called while I was eating my lunch.  She has been told that they are concerned about the possibility of her having pneumonia so her surgery might be cancelled. 

I took a chance with eating pizza (because of the mozzarella cheese)  but so far so good (about seven hours later)

I picked out a new book to read about a nomadic family in Somalia.  I think I dozed off a bit.  Peggy called and Marlene called.   Elaine Edmister called looking for Peg, so I gave her Peggy's number.  Her husband Al fell and broke his hip and will probably have surgery tomorrow.  Betty called, she is feeling better and we might go for a walk tomorrow, out at Spring Lake Winery where there is a newly developed walking trail.  Peg called again and told me that Bev will have her hiatal hernia surgery on Friday.

Week of Sunday September 8th through Saturday September 14, 2024 (new password info)

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...

 SUNDAY:  I decided to go to TOPS before going to church, hoping to get some IRISH SODA BREAD.  They had it (right inside the front door) so I got it, and a couple of other items. Church was excellent, the sermon was about HELL!!!   After church I took my groceries home and put the garbage out and changed into jeans before meeting up with Glenda, Elaine and Betty at LaPorts.  They all had corned beef and cabbage, but I had the turkey dinner.  I brought most of it home.  Pam called and wanted me to go to a musical event at a church, but I really wanted to spend the rest of the day at home.  I had a nap.  I scanned some of Peggy's NURSING HOME MINISTRY at Mt. View into her flickr account.  I found a movie: I ACCUSED, based on a true story.     MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment this morning.  I did some jobs around the house until it was time to go to the Y for my class.  It went very well. ...

In another bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in coconut, oats and craisins.  On a side note, when I was gathering ingredients, I found three cans of baking powder, one expired in 1997, on one I could not find an exp. date and the third had expired but at least it expired in this century.  Two of these went into the trash. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased  baking sheets . Bake 8-10 m...
